Self-healing Porous Asphalt: A Combination of Encapsulated Rejuvenator and Induction Heating

Porous asphalt, due to its advantages of noise reduction and water drainage, is widely used in the surface layer of the highway in the Netherlands. However, the porous structure makes it prone to ravelling, therefore more frequent maintenance and reconstruction than other asphalt mixtures The porous asphalt service life can be extended with self...

Induction Healing of Porous Asphalt Concrete

Porous asphalt shows excellent performance in both noise reduction and water drainage. Although porous asphalt has these great qualities, its service life is much shorter (sometimes only half) compared to dense graded asphalt roads. Ravelling, which is the loss of aggregate particles from the surface layer, is the main damage mechanism of porous...
